"Prepared to meet the wants of those students who only require the Geometry necessary for the Art Student's Course. Contains over seven hundred figures arranged in a convenient form, and a very complete and exhaustive collection of exercises, and covers rather more ground than is absolutely necessary for the South Kensington Examination in Geometrical Drawing. The Chapter on Solid Geometry has been made unusually full, as the Author's experience is that one of the student's chief difficulties is the want of sufficient variety of examples in this important branch of the subject." - Preface to first edition.

DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. BUONE/OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, FIORITURE E SEGNI DEL TEMPO. RARISSIMO. IL VOLUME È STATO RAFFORZATO DA UN RILEGATORE E HA UNA NUOVA ANTIPORTA DI RINFORZO. Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri (Sanremo, 5 settembre 1667 – Milano, 25 ottobre 1733) è stato un gesuita, matematico, docente e accademico italiano. È considerato il padre, seppure inconsapevole, delle geometrie non euclidee. Gerolamo Saccheri, un gesuita professore all’università di Pavia, può essere considerato come un precursore di entrambe le geometrie non euclidee successivamente scoperte: la geometria ellittica e quella iperbolica. Saccheri, nella sua opera intitolata “Euclide emendato da ogni neo, ossia tentativo geometrico col quale si stabiliscono gli stessi primi principi di geometria universale”, prende le mosse dalla considerazione di una figura fondamentale, il quadrilatero birettangolo isoscele. Poi prende in esame tre ipotesi relative dei due angoli al vertice che sono entrambi retti, o acuti o ottusi. Saccheri cerca di confutare l’ipotesi dell’angolo acuto, dopo aver confutato quella dell'angolo ottuso. In questa ipotesi per un punto esterno alla retta data passano due rette asintotiche che dividono le rette del fascio in due classi; alla prima appartengono quelle rette del fascio che incontrano la retta data, alla seconda quelle che hanno con essa una perpendicolare comune. Le parallele asintotiche si avvicinano l’una all’altra nella direzione del parallelismo. Il ragionamento di Saccheri, finora assai rigoroso, slitta su un piano intuitivo e di puro convincimento psicologico quando trasferisce all’infinito concetti e considerazioni validi per enti posti a distanza finita, per dimostrare che l’ipotesi dell’angolo acuto è assolutamente falsa "perché ripugna alla natura della retta".
